-
- STEP 141 > Now SLIDE the scrap forwards, SLOWLY move towards the rear. As the scrap moves, it will want to make you lower the paper onto the foamcore. Let your hand lower and have the scrap be your guide. Always press your scrap flat against the ceiling.
-
- STEP 142 > Continue this until you reach the end in which you can no longer hold the rear of the paper with your finger. Let it go and fall onto the ceiling and press over it like a steam roller 🙂
-
- STEP 143 > You now want to make sure there is perfect contact with the beams, you will see a slight discoloration as the glue soaks into the pores of the paper. Press ONLY along the beams (hilited yellow zones) after all this trouble you DON'T want to poke THROUGH the paper and have to start over.
-
- STEP 144 > Now take another sheet, place it next to the first and place a pencil mark to know where it's edge is.
-
- STEP 145 > Now you know the area you need to apply gluestick in order to attach the next sheet.
-
- STEP 146 > As we did before, start by aligning the front so it is parallel to the front, KEEP the rear of the sheet UP.
-
- STEP 147 > Repeat your scrap press down technique to avoid getting bubbles.
-
- STEP 148 > Press against the beams like you did in Step 143.
-
- STEP 149 > Time for the last sheet. Gluestick same as before.
-
- STEP 150 > Align your last sheet and press along the bottom only.
-
- STEP 151 > Grab your scrap and you know what to do.
-
- STEP 152 > last finger press without poking any holes through the beam gaps.
-
- STEP 153 > And there you go, your LED ceiling bottom sheet is done. VERY VERY FRAGILE, put it in a safe place for now.
-
- STEP 154 > Grab your high gloss vinyl. Time to do the floor.
-
- STEP 155 > Make sure your vinyl sticks past your floor foamcore piece. Easier to trim after than try to fit perfectly when applying it.
-
- STEP 156 > Once you figure out the proper excess, make a cut and put away your roll for future use.
-
- STEP 157 > Like we did for the ceiling paper application, we want to find a scrap piece of foamcore that is a little WIDER than your floor surface.
-
- STEP 158 > Make sure to wipe off the surface of your foamcore, you dont want dust to create bumps in your vinyl. With high gloss, imperfections become very obvious.
-
- STEP 159 > You want to start by peeling and exposing about 5cm of your vinyl. Tuck the wax backing under the fold.
-
- STEP 160 > Press at the fold a little hard to make a cleaner straight flat line.
